I set up from Rincón de Los Sauces in the morning. It was snowing at night reason why the city was all white early in the morning. I addressed toward Catriel to make the confluence 38°S 68°W, and the road was so white that I did not let distinguish the edges of the highway, and started to snow very hard.

When leaving the mountainous zone of Auca Mahuida and entering the Province of Negro River, the snow started to melt became water and finally in the zone of the confluence a fine and persistent rain, made all access very muddy and slippery. The land here are has a high clay content so mud is quite sticky to the wheels that required the use of double traction. Some trail and oil company path approached to me less than 200 meters of the confluence. Then, I started to hike a hard one boot were full of this sticky clay mud, making boot weighed about 5 kg each one.

Despite all this, I finally arrived to CP (that is very easy to arrive if the way were dry) and took the required pictures. Later I set up towards Catriel, where I was to stay some days for work reason.
